Customer Reviews for ATIV Tab 5

The Samsung ATIV Tab 5 is an excellent solution for busy people that want to do more on the go. It offers the flexibility of a tablet as well as the power of a PC, and can be transformed into a traditional notepad with a convenient keyboard. Whether you're building presentations or watching movies on its 1366 x 768 HD screen, it's the perfect portable companion.

This tablet is great to travel with. The larger screen size is really helpful.

"The sound level is a bit low but overall I love the unit. It is quite fast for the chip speed. I did have the motherboard go but the helpdesk was great, I shipped it in for repairs, and had the new one back in 10 days. The add on keyboard is terrific for making it a handy workstation. One big plus is having multiple full size usb ports."

Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

Cons: speaker sound levels are a bit low.

"This is a great "convertible" tablet. It does all of your actual "computing" needs, it offers all the usual means of media consumption, BUT unlike other tablet's its great for productivity. This tablet can easily replace an ultrabook/ laptop any day. The only thing I have against it is I wish that the keyboard as easier to find. For those who are looking the keyboards product code it AA-RD7NMKD."

perfect balence between pc and tablet !

"I love this product, its very responsive. It doesn't lag when you are running duel screens. Its easy to use and light weight. The only thing I would change is the camera, it would be nice if the built in camera took better pictures."

"Despite all the photos and features information, apparently the "optional" keyboard is not available in Canada. If you're looking for a tablet with a docking keyboard or keyboard cover, look elsewhere."

good tablet, but it is not compatible with S pen!! >:(

"I love this tablet. It is not quite as fast and reliable as my primary laptop, but it's very portable and simply fun to use. It is a little large and awkward in size, to use as a tablet, but I like the extra space because the text is easier to read.

The wifi connectivity has trouble connecting when I turn it on. I have seen reviews of others having this problem and installing updates and drivers fix the problem. I have updated the drivers but continue to have this glitch. Disconnecting and reconnecting it to the wifi network resolves the problem and it only takes a second to do, so I'm not too annoyed by this.

When I ask it to sleep, it doesn't fall asleep. it continues to drain quite a bit of battery so I end up shutting it down completely, but shut down and start up is so quick, I don't mind.

The display is fantastic and I purchased the keyboard dock (with touchpad) separately and I have had no problems with the keyboard connectivity (as others have had). Very happy with the keyboard.

Drawing on this tablet (with my finger) is smooth and accurate however I was interested in a touch screen tablet-laptop convertible because I wanted to draw and take notes. I purchased the s pen separately (the pen is labelled on the box to be compatible with my tablet model, 500T1C!) and it does not work with my tablet. I am very upset that this was not advertised on the site (as it even shows an s-pen slot on the Canadian samsung site) so I figured that although it was not sold with the tablet, the pen, purchased separately would at least be compatible with my tablet. I called customer support to see if a driver would be developed for my model however the samsung representative said that this will not likely happen - VERY disappointing!!!!!!!!!!Samsung's support team should develop a driver for XE500T1C- A01-CA model to allow it to be compatible with the S pen, as advertised!"

What a great Smart PC

"Love everything about. I learned windows 8 for the first time. I have to say I don't like Windows 8. The Samsung 11.6 ATIV Smart PC 500TIC-HA1CA runs smoothly, easy to use. If you don't like something you remove it. I like the updating of the programs automatically and looks for errors and corrects them. At times it have to look at what needs to be resolved if an error occurs and it's easy to make those corrections. If you mess the whole thing up you can do a factory reset and it rebuilds itself to the factory setting the day you bought it or you can reset it where it does not wipe out any of your files. Everyone must remember in every case you always back up your data never the less. Fantastic product for sure."

The product is now mature...

"At first there were serious issues with the wi-fi connection. After a few months and a few software updates everything was back to normal !The Atom CPU was not as powerful as expected but for most of the work that have to do I am very pleased.Viewing HD videos is great on this big display."

Poor Quality, Excelellent Features & Designs. Really wanted it to work as designed.

"I spent a premium dollar to buy this Samsung product over 2 other competitors similar products, based on Samsung Name, specs, customer reviews on Samsung site & retailers site. I bought it for work, as I needed Windows 8 touch screen for my work software .I have experienced the following problems.1st issue: Since day 1, Keyboard dock loses connectivity randomly & has to be un-docked & re-docked to re-establish connectivity2nd issue: Logon Pin Pad (on screen keyboard) disappeared. I googled the issue & found that Adobe reader needs to be repaired in Programs to resolve this issue. When it re-occurs, repeat the above.3rd issue: Unit will not turn on after last update installed & I shut the unit off using the menu. It would not turn on again.

Samsung support is great & are taking care of the repair under warranty. Hope it's worth the wait"

"Am on my second pc in six weeks. The second one has lost sound and video twice and emitted popping sounds. The only recourse was hard resets. First one froze numerous times and black screened once. The only recourse was to wipe it out. I.E. Factory defaults. Despite that I like the touch screen, size and color. Wish now though that I had gotten the pro model .and that the reliability was better. Hopefully things will improve."

"I've been doing everything to this smart pc as I want' to understand how it ticks. So I installed/removed software. I even loaded software that you shouldn't load onto it such as an incorrect apps for this model and it recovered with out any errors. I've rest it default factory settings each time so I could see if it slowed down, or couldn't recover and it works brilliantly. I love my Samsung 11.6" ATIV Smart PC and it if fantastic."

Nice tablet computer with keyboard dock

"This is our first tablet computer. We are using it either as a tablet alone, or together with its keyboard dock, which is useful as a stand and makes it equivalent to a laptop computer. Lots of features. Windows 8 takes some getting used to. Performance is only rated good due to the atom processor, but you get long battery life as a tradeoff. Large screen is nice but makes it a bit awkward to hold and use as a tablet."

Where is my S pen on my XE500TC Rogers version?

"Very thrilled and excited in both this hardware and Windows8. Overall performance is quite impressive. But my Rogers version, which bears the same model number of XE500TC, clearly does not have the S pen feature. Meaning it's not just the S pen that is missing, but the slot on the bottom left side of the tablet where the pen slides into, is not there either. Why? The Canada version of this site needs to make this correction."

Awesome windows tablet pc

"As i am salesperson the biggest problem i found with any kind of windows or android tablet their acessories are not available easily which customers they want. Same thing happened on the other day, i convinced a customer that this windows tablet is best for him and he liked it as well cz he can open multiple windows tabs at the same tym on this tablet and work simultaneously and he was going to buy that but wen we looked at the acessories there was not even a single case to stand it up on desk to watch pics and movies or etc.

No S-pen was available.

I request samsung one of the largest company that please concentrate on acessories as customers they want it as well.

Like 9 out of 10 they buy ipad or apple because acessories are so easily available."
